We appreciate your feedback and have read through your comments. Please note that our hybrid working approach is an important element of the way we work at Sage that is complemented by other benefits such as paid time to volunteer, the ability to work away for up to 10 weeks a year and free well-being support tools. We recently also answered several colleagues' questions about the new 3-day policy. If you've not seen this communication on our internal intranet site, it sheds more light on how colleagues will be supported as they adhere to our updated hybrid structure. More information about what we offer can be found here https://www.glassdoor.co.uk/Benefits/Sage-United-Kingdom-Benefits-EI_IE1150.0,4_IL.5,19_IN2.htm - Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. We’ll continue to work hard to improve how we enable colleagues to thrive.

Pros

None right now, which is so sad as it used to be great

Cons

Sage for the past year and a half have rarely promoted anyone, so now face challenges of people not being happy with working their socks off with no reward. Their new strategy is to promote people with £0 financial incentive and acting as if it’s a great thing and we should be so proud! Quite frankly we’ve all lost any sense of motivation and love for the job as it’s a constant grind with no reward. WE ARE NOT WORKING FOR FREE

Pros

I had the opportunity to work at Sage Intacct several years before it became Sage, during which I appreciated many positive aspects such as supportive management, excellent colleagues, and a strong company culture that fostered a sense of unity. Collaboration across all levels of the company hierarchy was highly enriching and productive, actively encouraged, and duly recognized by the management.

Cons

Following the acquisition by Sage and subsequent changes in leadership, there was a noticeable shift in the work environment. While I still had positive experiences collaborating with old teams and new teams, there were challenges arising from shifts in local NA leadership and Sage UK teams killing off Sage Intacct teams. The changes resulted in limited opportunities for career advancement, as management seemed to dictate career paths rather than empowering individuals to chart their own growth, and work being handed over to UK teams. Micromanagement became prevalent. Cross-collaboration was micromanaged, and project allocation became less available and restricted, leading to a reduction in opportunities for professional development and advancement. Additionally, previous contributions to the company seemed to lose visibility and recognition, under the new management structure, There was also little to no recognition for your current work as well, leading to a sense of working without visibility or appreciation under the new management. Overall, while my initial experience at Sage Intacct was rewarding, the post-acquisition changes introduced some organizational challenges that affected the overall work experience.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you did not have the most positive life at Sage experience after the Intacct acquisition and have taken note of your concerns for continuous improvement. We have been moving toward a more centralised, more global approach to working which has required us to streamline processes and reorganise the way teams work. That being said, we have made these changes to create more and better quality opportunities so we are saddened to know that the opposite was the outcome. With our Talent Marketplace platform, we will continue to empower colleagues to take charge of their career development and your feedback shall go a long way in helping us shape how we do this. We wish you all the best in your new career adventure!
